Delta's annual Free Compost Week is just around the corner!
Free Compost Week takes place from Saturday, March 27 to Sunday, April 4 and Delta residents are eligible to pick up a maximum of one cubic metre of free compost per vehicle, over the duration of the week-long event. Compost can be picked up at the City of Vancouver Landfill, located at 5400 72 Street in Delta, and proof of residency is required (e.g. driver's licence, property tax notice, utility bill).
Compost is a fantastic resource for your garden, which feeds plants and helps them retain moisture. You can spread it around the base of shrubs, trees, and perennials or rake it onto your lawn to keep your turf healthy. It can also be used to help create new garden beds!
Did you know that you can create your own compost year-round? Learn more about Delta's Backyard Composter Program.
